What does Halston (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with peach, bergamot and honeydew melon, a fruity freshness. The heart builds a floral body from rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and carnation, while cedar and orris root pull it drier and more powdery. The base of vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss and amber leaves an earthy, resinous warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead, with daytime and office use also getting votes. Voters mostly call it feminine, then classic. Its profile is close to Niki de Saint Phalle and Clinique Aromatics Elixir.
